      b.  Petitioner enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 11 June 1982.  On 10 June 1986, he was released from active duty with an honorable characterization of service. 
 
      c.  Petitioner asserts that his social security number, which is stated in his original DD Form 214 as “” should have actually been “,” and this number is consistent with the number set forth in his social security card, a copy of which he provided with his petition.
